10cc The Ultimate Greatest Hits
10cc is one of the most inventive and influential bands in popular music history, achieving commercial, critical, and creative success. The band's enduring appeal is evident, with a fan base spanning generations, including artists like Axl Rose, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Chrissie Hynde, and Dan Gillespie from The Feeling. Their song "I'm Not In Love," written by Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart, was featured in the 2014 blockbuster "Guardians of the Galaxy," which produced a No. 1 album. Another hit, "Dreadlock Holiday," was part of the 2010 "The Social Network" soundtrack and became the theme for Sky Sports cricket in Australia.
10cc has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, a testament to their timeless music and global touring, reaching countries as diverse as Iceland, South Africa, Latvia, Japan, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the US. Founder member Graham Gouldman credits their lasting appeal to the quality and originality of their songs, which were never trend-driven but created for their own enjoyment. “The songs are as frequently played on the radio today as they ever were,” he says.
During the 1970s, 10cc thrived in an era filled with some of pop's most creative and colorful artists. Unlike their contemporaries like David Bowie, Queen, Elton John, and Rod Stewart, 10cc focused on creating sophisticated rock masterpieces with mainstream appeal rather than cultivating a celebrity image. Their influences ranged from The Beatles and the Beach Boys to Burt Bacharach, Hal David, Jimmy Webb, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, and the Everly Brothers. This diverse mix of inspirations contributed to their unique sound.
10cc's early success included hits like "Donna" in 1972 and "Dreadlock Holiday" in 1978. "I'm Not In Love," released in 1975, was particularly notable, described by Rolling Stone as having more complexity than the last 10 albums by Yes. Gouldman and his bandmates, already successful songwriters, achieved new creative heights in the early 1970s. At Strawberry Studios in Stockport, they collaborated with Neil Sedaka on his comeback album "Solitaire."
10cc's songwriting approach was collaborative, with songs becoming the collective property of the band. Gouldman recalls, “Our principle was always the music, whatever’s best for the song.” Their self-contained production process allowed for a high degree of creative control. The band had no frontman, with members sharing vocal and instrumental duties.
Their live debut in 1973 at the Isle of Man Casino received an enthusiastic response, surprising the band members. Critical acclaim followed, with "The Original Soundtrack" (1975) receiving high praise. "I'm Not In Love" won three Ivor Novello Awards, and 10cc continued to push boundaries with songs like "Art For Art’s Sake."
The departure of Godley and Creme after "How Dare You?" in 1976 was a major upheaval. They pursued their project, "Consequences," while Gouldman and Stewart continued as 10cc, achieving further success with albums like "Deceptive Bends" (1977) and "Bloody Tourists" (1978). However, Stewart's severe car accident in 1979 marked a turning point, as the punk movement was gaining momentum.
Post-10cc, the original members enjoyed successful careers. Godley and Creme became Grammy-winning video directors, Stewart collaborated with Paul McCartney, and Gouldman produced soundtracks and formed Wax with Andrew Gold. In the early 1990s, Gouldman and Stewart reunited for two more 10cc albums.
10cc's legacy was solidified with a BMI citation for "I'm Not In Love" in 1995. The band, led by Gouldman, resumed touring in 2002 and continued to perform globally. Highlights of 2022 included arena shows with Toto in Sweden and Denmark. Gouldman was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2014, joining legends like Lennon, McCartney, and Dylan.
Gouldman reflects on the band's ongoing success, noting the diverse and appreciative audiences. "This is as near as you’re ever going to get to hearing the perfect 10cc. Hit after hit after hit. It’s relentless. We show no mercy,” he says.
